Match Properties

Hello All,

I have a problem with a specific file. If I start a new file and do a match properties on a viewport and apply it to another viewport, it works. In this specific file it does not. The settings for the MP tool are the same in both places. Any ideas? I feel like there was a setting that affected this, but I can't remember it.

A few questions:
What version of AutoCAD are you using?
Are you using xrefs or is the work in the same dwg file?

What are you trying to "match" on the viewports?

(if this is a 2008 layer states per viewport thing, I can't help you...sorry)

Re: Match Properties

Is this a rectangular viewport or irregular viewport? An easy way to tell would be to pick it and look at the top of the properties palette. Does it say All (2)? If so, it is an irregular viewport and I don't think Match Properties will work on it.
